What I Did
- I basically stood/ and sat the whole time, while he worked on his patients. I usually was a bit far away from him, giving them space to do exercises, and examinations.
- Mr.Wagle showed me his physical therapy tools and which tool is used for what.
- I also was taught the kind of questions doctors ask their patients when they need to figure out the patients problems. This also helped diagnose the issue.
- I also learned that when a geriatrician can't resolve a patient's problem, they refer the patient to the specialist they need.
